Zibo Li, PhD, postdoctoral scholar in the Molecular Imaging Probe Laboratory (MIPL), has won a second place Young Professionals Committee Best Basic Science Award at the 2007 Annual Convention of the Society of Nuclear Medicine (SNM). The objective of the Young Professionals Committee Award is to identify promising scientists and to support their research. Dr. Li's research focuses on the development of novel tracers (peptides, proteins, growth factors, antibodies, and antibody fragments-based) for near-infrared (NIR) fluorescence, MRI, SPECT, and PET imaging of small animal tumor xenografts and, potentially, of cancer patients.
